The engaged couple Aastha Lal and Nina Duong are all set to participate in Season 34 of The Amazing Race, premiering on Wednesday, September 21, 2022, at 10/9c on CBS.

In this new season, the teams will travel to several countries, including Austria, Italy, France, Spain, Iceland, and Nashville. As per the synopsis of the show:

“The show also visits the ancient city of Petra, in Jordan, where teams will ride a train and experience a scene reminiscent of the 1963 Oscar-winning film "Lawrence of Arabia," perform a Jordanian folk dance and learn the Arabic alphabet. Also, for the first time in THE AMAZING RACE history, there will be no non-elimination legs.”

Further adding:

“With one team being eliminated at the end of every leg, it will be one of the most grueling races in the show's history and teams will be in for a surprise when host Phil Keoghan teases a game-changing element in the first leg of the race.”
